A main part of RNIB Cymru 's business plan is to prevent avoidable sight loss. We do this in many ways, and work on many different projects to stop people from losing their sight needlessly.
Some of our projects covered in the Autumn bulletin include:
Children's eye health
Sooty stickers with information advising new mothers on how to look after their baby's eyes.
Older People
Prevention of sight loss in older people - a project report identifying barriers and enablers to older people having sight tests with suggested practical interventions to increase the uptake of tests
National Eye Health Week (NEHW)
Feedback on our activities for NEHW 2011, a national campaign raising awareness of the importance of eye health and encouraging people to go for regular sight tests.
